Nutrients as Ergogenic Aids for Sports and Exercise cover

Nutrients as Ergogenic Aids for Sports and Exercise discusses the growing body of information regarding the enhancement of human physical performance by dietary manipulations through ergogenesis. It balances the application of nutritional manipulations between overzealous promoters and recalcitrant cynics. By offering a thorough, comprehensive and up-to-date review of what is known about ergogenic effects of nutrients on humans, it bridges the gap between common usage and scientific knowledge. Nutrients as Ergogenic Aids for Sports and Exercise covers in detail many popular product ingredients not considered elsewhere. It illustrates areas awaiting future research, and offers suggestions for avoiding the pitfalls of performing ergogenesis research.

"This book combines a comprehensive review of ergogenic aids in a package that is concise and well-referenced. Bucci has done a fine job of covering a complex topic so that it is useful to the sports-nutrition and sports-medicine practitioner."
Dan Berardot, Ph.D., R.D.

"...a comprehensive starting point for the student, athlete, coach, athletic trainer, physical therapist, or phsician seeking research material on the subject of ergogenic aids."
